Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is characterized by a loss of cellular and axonal integrity, often leading to limited functional recovery pain. Many PNIs are not amenable repair with traditional techniques; however, cell therapies, particularly Schwann cells (SCs), offer the promise neural tissue replacement improvement. Exosomes, which carry signaling molecules, can be secreted SCs have shown in PNI. Our laboratory has had success using preclinical clinical treatment settings. Transplanted...
Prenatal alcohol exposure can produce disruptions in a wide range of cognitive functions, but it is especially detrimental to spatial navigation. In open environments, rodents organize their behaviors around centralized locations, termed home bases, from which they make circuitous and slow locomotor trips (progressions) into the rest environment. Open-field are organized even under darkened test conditions, suggesting role for self-motion cues (vestibular, motor, etc.). The impact moderate...
Abstract Background Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) can produce deficits in a wide range of cognitive functions but is especially detrimental to behaviors requiring accurate spatial information processing. In open field environments, behavior organized such that animals establish “home bases” marked by long stops focused around one location. Progressions away from the home base are circuitous and slow, while progressions directed toward non‐circuitous fast. The impact PAE on organization has...
ABSTRACT Introduction Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) occurs in approximately 3% of all trauma patients and can be challenging to treat, particularly when is severe such as with a long-segmental gap. Although peripheral nerves regenerate after injury, functional recovery often insufficient, leading deficits the quality life PNI. autografts are gold standard care, there several disadvantages their use, namely lack autologous material for repair. This has led pursuit alternative treatment...
ABSTRACTThe shift to online learning due the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated existing inequalities and highlighted failures of U.S. higher education institutions serve their students' needs. The purpose this exploratory quantitative survey study was examine differences in perceptions academic financial challenges encountered during pandemic. Results by generation status, gender, intersections. Insight into these sub-populations can shed light on ways reorganize educational structures provide...
